"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." MLK

I have no idea; a week ago when it was originally uploaded it got almost 50k upvotes and was trending on some countries' Youtubes. All of a sudden it disappeared. Along with this, the petition signatures barely seemed to be going anywhere in spite of the outpouring of support.

Unrelated, but two controversial images seem to have disappeared from my HDD as well.

Fuckery is afoot; I can't prove it but I have a very very strong feeling.

His cousin - the father (Drąsius Kedys) of the the girl - was shit husband who was accused of abusing the mother of the girl (Stankūnaitė) when she was 16.

After the mother of the child decided to split with him he was having none of that. The father of the girl and his side of the family (Venckūnai) came up with a story about the mother selling the daughter to pedophiles.

The guy in the video omits to show videos where you can hear someone in the background whispering for the little girl what to say while the TV screen reflects what the grandmother is showing the girl to perform.

At this point I should probably attempt to make one thing clear and I'm not sure I can. Basically, there's a "class" thing going on throughout the story. Drąsius Kedys (the cousin of the dude in video, the father of the girl) comes from a city in Lithuania called Kaunas. In the 90's the city was infested with criminals, gangs and mafia. All the biggest criminals and hot shots were in this city and the "atmosphere" and culture of city corresponded that (there's a small lingering effect of that to this day). Drąsius Kedys was a typical macho dude who came up in this city during the 90's - and so did his family. So they thought of less of the mother of the child (Stankūnaitė) who came from a lesser family and they looked down upon her.

Hopefully, this explains why they would never even think about letting their grand daughter stay with their mother. Thus the whole pedophilia scandal.

And you have to hand it to them - they really sold their story well. A lot of people bought it - I mean once you paint your opponents as pedophiles and start going on about corruption in the government and the judicial system (not the favorite institutions in post soviet societies) you're going to have a lot of followers. All the following investigations absolved everyone who was blamed for pedophilia and no corruption or wrongdoings were found. But as far as conspiracy theories go it was one of the best we have ever seen.

The extreme amount of police force seen in the video was needed because Stankūnai failed to give the girl away and they kept her at home. Keep in mind they we're playing at their home stadium and had people lined out outside the house. The operation was botched for sure - the optics were horrible. But in the end the girl did end up with her women. I hope she's able to live a normal life after all the shit her dad's side of the family ended up putting her through.

So this is the other side of the story.

EDIT: Also the dude fails to mention that his mother was judge and his dad was a lawyer. They knew the system and had connections. And yet when their brother Drąsius Kedys (the father of the girl in question) came with the story about pedophiles they didin't go through the legal process. Actually, that's not entirely true - they used their connections to ask favors and start a criminal investigation based on this conspiracy. The people who falsified the documents and wrongly started the investigation were found guilty.

Honest question, do these petitions ever do anything. Maybe for a video game and you show the devs/company hey we don't fuck with this. But when this involves more then a company and possible government officials I don't see them giving quite much about a petition.

I think you bring up an good point that it is important to do independent research, as videos like these always come with an inherent bias. That being said, I did do independent research before signing and I am aware of alternate theories regarding the uncle. I believe what this kid is saying, and I stand by my decision.

"Hey guys this prosecutor that went after a government official for sexually assaulting a kid is probably hiding something but I'm not going to tell you what it is."

Do you realize how ridiculous this sounds? She's potentially facing life in prison back in Lithiuania thanks to the overwhelming amount of corruption going on behind the scenes and you're telling people not to sign before they do "research" on a topic you refuse to state.

They clearly would like to know more. It just sounds like you're pulling this out of your ass though. If you provided any information, then it would probably result in a lot more people caring enough to look up the details. Writing "Don't" would have been just as effective as your original comment.

Why even bother saying it at all then? Keep scrolling. You have no stake and you don't wish to elaborate. Therefore why waste your time typing that and your replies?
Ever hear of the burden of proof? The person who makes a claim that goes against common understanding is responsible for providing an argument or some sources in order to be taken seriously.
So post a link supporting that initial claim or delete your comment, simple.

The thing is, surrounding the custody battle that supposedly started all of this, I wonder what else could get a father to start a custody battle and murder two men when the justice system seemed to be dragging its feet in support of her attackers.

Perhaps I'm being presumptuous but, if you were the father of the child in the story, what would you have done had you suspected your wife was pimping your daughter out? What would you do to those whom she pimped them out to?

Yes, it started with a custody battle between the mother and father, who suspected the mother of pimping his daughter out. The family of the girl was accused of coaching her on what to say, being pedophiles themselves, among other allegations.

Not excusing the lack of due process, but I would happily play the bad guy and take a fall if I thought it would result in my child living a safer, happier life. Not that it has, either, but still I stand by this.

This is the same thing going on in every country. But the problem is we all keep turning a blind eye to how bad things are, so we can pretend this stuff is far away from us. I mean as sad as this video is, had this poor little girl not been related to this women; who would have paid attention to her. Her entire family could have been wiped out without anyone caring. Why in the so called “Information Age” does it seem like we are so willing to believe the first story which comes out. I think this women and her son are in danger, they are fighting an up hill battle which without the help of us all, will be a losing one. The abuse of children is real! Please look into how you can help, most states offer classes to help us all see the signs in the children around us. We all look at the dark times in history, and make claims of what we would do to help those in need. More than 20,000,00 slaves in this world. That’s twenty million, the U.S sees heavy traffic everyday of these poor helpless people. Step in be the hero, even if your only power is enlightening others!!!! God Bless you all.

Not being ignorant, or atleast not trying to be, but why so much backlash now? I remember seeing the original video blow up on reddit a few weeks ago, and now, people are, dare I say it, little more hesitant? I mean, the original video got took down too.

Hey people, please don't be duped into thinking that due process is not observed in Lithuania - don't you think there would be a backlash in the EU if this highly publicised case had anything irregular as this video seems to claim?

Something for you all with real knowleve of this situation. Think what you like.
The father of "molested" girl tryed to get custody of the girl. His sister Neringa Venckiene a lawyer was helping him. When he realised that it wont go his way he killed the judge( father of the girl Drasius Kedys) and spread that judge and his daughter mother and her new boyfriend were molesting the girl with helf of his sister. After some time both Kedys and new boyfriend were found dead. Kedys killed himself, the other was killed, sister took custody and rallied easily swayed people to help defend the girl from leagal autoritys. Grandparents are heard in video speaking what to say and show to girl for bigger influence.

As i said think what you want. There is a lotmore info on rhis in lithuanian language.

This is all being fed by (possibly warranted) anti-establishment attitudes within Lithuania. All these people trying to keep the girl from her mother are responsible for their pain, and spreading bullshit like this just exacerbates the situation.

The thing is, surrounding the custody battle that supposedly started all of this, I wonder what else could get a father to start a custody battle and murder two men when the justice system seemed to be dragging its feet in support of her attackers.

Perhaps I'm being presumptuous but, if you were the father of the child in the story, what would you have done had you suspected your wife was pimping your daughter out? What would you do to those whom she pimped them out to?

I think this is some kind of bullshit it's years old probably Russian fake news, and there is nothing in English online explain it like I'm 5. not being ignorant but it looks like someone has changed the subtitles to a news story, I'd like to give a shout out to 4chan lol. other than that = Explain in plain English please.

I DID GOOGLE. maybe it's not only youtube that is being suppressed, honestly, sometimes I wonder. and sorry let me read up on this because its news to me I don't want to be ill-informed before I comment further.
If this is how I see it you can only Imagine.
